PITTSBURGH — The Chicago Cubs clinched a playoff spot under rookie manager David Ross, returning to the post-season after a one-year absence despite losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 Tuesday night on a walk-off home run by Jacob Stallings.
“It’s very rewarding for that group in there that they’ve put in a lot of hard work in a unique atmosphere that has presented a lot of challenges,” said Ross, who took over for Joe Maddon this season. “Being away from their families, being tested, it would be really easy to get outside the rules, but they stayed accountable to one another. There’s so much to be proud of from my point of view.”
Stallings has been a bright spot for the Pirates, especially defensively as he rates high in many of the advanced metrics for catchers. “It was good to be back and do my job,” Quintana said. “Hopefully, I’ll get more pitches the next time. I feel great. I could have kept going but I know where we’re at right now with my first start back.”
